The Nintendo DS Lite will launch across Europe on the 23rd June 2006 for the estimated retail price of around £99.99/149.99 Euros.

I'm wondering wether to get one June 23rd, or wait until Wii has been released and get them both then.

What do you know, play.com have it available for pre-order:

Nintendo DS Lite - Black

Nintendo DS Lite - White


Do Scan do pre-orders? If not... *hint hint* *wink wink* *cough cough*

Lo bud Ill have a word for you with "the powers that be" to see if we will be stocking these

Ta for the link/info, will check that out when I have a little more time

So whats the big deal about this baby then? seems that alot of people are going a bit crazy for them

Well I want one I don't have an original DS, but this new one will tempt me. Sleeker looks, smaller size both make it more attractive, and it's nice to know that it will be an improved version.

ofc the games really make it. StarfoxDS will be out by then (or near then) so that will have to be bought with it Along with mario/mario kart for now I think.

Gosh, wats going to happen to us that went for the chunky big ones...

*sob* I want one.. but I cant get one unless someone buy this clunky one off me 1st..

I really want one too, but for some reason I have this image in my head of me in town around November picking up a bundle from one of the stores that includes the Wii and DS Lite.

Would be nice if they did do a bundle

I will definately be getting one, even better if I can buy it from scan.co.uk!

Damnit had no idea a BLACK DS lite was coming out, especially to Europe!
Then again it didn't cost me much more than retail to import it

I'm selling my regular Nintendo DS on ebay becuase EB Games said that I could only get $40 for it if I gave it to them.

I suggest you guys wait for the reviews of the black one becuase you don't want to make the same mistake that I made w/ the black iPod Video, can you say Scratch-Mania.

Hopefully it's better quality plastic but either way I'm getting the white one .

I want one I had an original GBA and was unsure about the DS at first but I'm definatley getting a black DS lite now that i am satisfied there are enough great games

[LWA]

Anyone else preordered yet? I ordered mine from play.com

[Parm]

I haven't yet. I'm still waiting for the Wii and DS Lite bundle

23rd June? Excellent, that will give plenty of time for them to iron the bugs out of the first release before Fishcake Jnrs birthday in December

But are there any bugs? I'm not aware of them being any. Have their been updates for the old one at all?

No and no. We're not talking about microsoft here.

Good point. Still, there's always a first time
